Rare original color woodblock print by Akira Kurosaki (Japanese, 1937–2019), titled Chinese Seals, produced in 1980 and catalogued as W26. This striking mixed-media work incorporates Kurosaki’s signature architectural minimalism with traditional Chinese seal motifs and surrealist organic forms.
• Pencil signed, titled, and dated
• Inscribed E.A. (Épreuve d’Artiste / Artist’s Proof)
• Sheet dimensions: 13 x 17.75 inches
• Framed dimensions: approx. 22.5 x 27.5 inches
• From a very limited Artist’s Edition, distinct from standard numbered runs
This specific piece is an Artist’s Proof (E.A.), traditionally reserved for the artist’s own collection or special distribution. Artist’s proofs are often more desirable and scarce than the regular edition prints — especially for a master printmaker like Kurosaki.
His work blends Bauhaus structure with vivid postmodernism, reflecting his legacy as both an innovator and educator in Japanese printmaking. This edition features exceptional pigment saturation and complex layering techniques, making it not just a collector’s print but a museum-caliber example of late 20th-century Japanese printmaking.
Artwork is in excellent condition under frame (not examined outside). Photos show signature, edition markings, and key design elements.
